Tags: Mobile App, Interaction Design, User interface, Mobile UI, User Experience, UI/UX Design
Production Technology: PolarCare was designed with Figma, using user-centered design methodologies, A/B testing, and iterative prototyping.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was balancing clinical rigor with emotional accessibility. The adaptive UI required extensive testing to ensure smooth transitions accommodating fluctuating cognitive capacity without overwhelming vulnerable users. Another challenge was integrating evidence-based psychiatric principles into an interface that felt supportive and non-stigmatizing while maintaining medical accuracy. Ensuring HIPAA compliance, crisis-state usability, and inclusivity for users experiencing manic or depressive episodes was also a key focus.
Research: This project involved qualitative research, usability testing, and clinical psychology studies to understand bipolar disorder management behaviors. The research explored medication adherence patterns, cognitive load during mood episodes, and family caregiver involvement, using semi-structured interviews with 24 participants including patients, psychiatrists, and caregivers. These findings shaped the app's adaptive interface, simplified emotional vocabulary, and collaborative care features.
Inspiration: Polar Care stands out with its intelligent adaptive interface, using a calming color palette to naturally guide users through emotional check-ins and wellness activities. The Home and Insights pages feature an engaging, supportive UI while maintaining clarity during vulnerable moments. The Family Circle feature enables collaborative care without being intrusive. Intuitive micro-interactions, AI-powered insights, crisis access, and accessible design ensure a personalized experience for all users
Project Duration: The project started in October 2025 in USA and finished in January 2026 in USA
Operation Flow: Upon login, users are asked, "How are you feeling today?" to personalize content. The home screen displays tailored mood tracking and wellness options. Users can select mood check-ins using intuitive visual emotional states, access Family Circle to connect with designated supporters, view health insights tracking mood patterns and medication adherence, and log daily wellness snapshots with simple taps. Crisis Support provides immediate help through one-tap emergency contacts. The interface adapts gradually based on emotional state, creating a supportive environment that enhances self-awareness and proactive mental health management.
